Probably damaged the crank sensor pulling/installing the trans. It's kind of a pain to get to, but, you are going to have to pull it, check it, and make sure none of the wiring harnesses got pinched between the engine and trans.

Bring your arm with three elbows..... The crank sensor is a major pain. In more than one sense of the word.

The crank sensor bolts to the block and plugs into the wiring harness via an unmistakable plug-in connector.

Did it have a bad experience with the trans R&R?

Did you give it a boo-boo while you were messing with the flexplate?
